This one costs 1,399 and has a i7 6700HQ and GTX 1060. It's also very slim and has a pretty good cooling system. Ram is also 16gb which is more than enough for pretty much everything. 

This is a straight up lie. Does not have good cooling. 1060 overheats in this chassis.

P650RP6. 1in thick. Best 1060 cooling in a thin laptop today.

(GTX 1060(Laptop) is like 10-15% faster than GTX 980M too)

1060 version overheats.

Well thank you 

Get the GL502VT - that has a 970M which is cooled properly. I've been using it for 2-3 weeks now and max temp I've seen on the GPU is 79*C and 86*C on the CPU - no throttling.

It's slightly more portable. Thing is .9 inches thick. Sager ones are like 1in.
